I'm two sided with this product it dose deffinatly give you a summer glow but applying this stuff evenly isn't as easy as it seams I mean you put it on like any other moisturizer but this one tans an well I find every time iv used it I come out with blochy ankles wrists and nice orange stains on my clothes. I would probly not buy this product.

Time for Summer
I have the palest palest skin, so I dread the first hot days of summer when I have to brave a skirt at work but it's too hot for tights - I've had many orange streaky disasters in my quest for healthy tanned skin, and Dove has been a consistent performer for the last 5 years. It smells nice, no chemical smell, and tans gradually so you don't turn up at work looking like an oompa loompa - there are no orange knees and ankles and it's a nice natural colour - the only downside is that my nice white towels get a subtle "glow" as it seems to come off a little the next day in the shower
Tips: Exfoliate Exfoliate Exfoliate!!!

An NZ Favourite
I'm pretty sure most women in NZ have a bottle of this in their cupboard. It is great to have on hand for the start of summer when the body hasn't seen the sun in a while and is lookin a little white. It is so handy to be able to apply a few times and know you will have a nice glow prior to hitting the beaches. The main reason I couldn't scare a 5 here is because the smell is obvious. Even though it doesn't smell bad - it smells like fake tan and every time I put it on someone says to me "Oh you've got you're summer glow on today" which I don't think I a great comment to get when you want people to thing you're tan is real!
Tips: Don't use it every day and exfoliate prior to using. Good if you are a night shower person and can put it on before bed so the smell isn't so strong the next day.

Best I have found yet
I can't say I fake tan on a regular basis but when I am feeling a bit pale or want a nice even glow this is the product I go for. I do need to make sure I rub it in very well as it can be easy to miss a few spots but when I am though this product gives me an even glow.
Tips: I am pale but go for the medium/ dark shade this way a little goes a long way and I can get a nice natural looking tan in just one application. Apply the night before as can smell quite fake tanny.

Good but not raving about it!
This product was released many years ago now and I remember using it back when it was first released. It definitely did as it said - light tanning lotion that gradually built with no lines or streaks plus moisturiser! For all these reasons I was impressed, and I could use it every day without the colour darkening too much. The only thing that I wasn't impressed with was that the lotion still smelt a bit like regular tanning lotions, that lingering smell that makes it very obvious that you might be faking it! This smell set in after an hour or so of wear, so not obvious on initial application.

Tanning cream
The tanning cream is nice to use for a tanner glow and it makes you feel more confident and I can wear shorts without having to worry about being so pale
Tips: I suggest you don't apply another layer after one night cause it dies appear orange

Summer Glow
Dove’s summer glow is a gradual self tanner that slowly gives you skin a natural sun kissed glow. I enjoy how easy this moisturiser rubs into the skin and doesn’t rub off on my clothing and sheets after applying. It also leaves my skin super soft.
Tips: Be extra careful applying around knees ankles ect...

Nice light, gradual tan
Many years ago in my early teen years, I used this religiously before discovering the more instant fake tan products.
I found this to be fairly easy to use, although a little hard to apply. It is also sticky for quite a few hours after putting it on. There is no colour when you rub the cream on, so it's hard to see if you've missed a spot. Sometimes I'd wake up the morning after applying it and find that I'd missed somewhere, or some parts were a bit streaky. If you get the application right then it does look really natural.
The smell is very obviously a 'fake tan' smell.
Tips: Exfoliate and moisturize the day before you apply for best results.

I purchased the Medium to Dark Skin formula even though I am fair skinned. It goes on easy and has a pleasant enough smell. The colour builds up after a few days and then I just used every third day or so to keep the colour even. I liked that it didn't go patchy throughout the week so it was never obvious that I was wearing a 'fake tan'. I did find that it didn't dry vey quickly which made it awkward to use at night time before bedtime, and you definitely need to wash your hands after using. A good product that does what it says it will but I probably wouldn't repurchase due to the drying time.
Tips: Don't use when you are in a hurry to get dressed or go to bed :)
